In the FA Cup at Anfield, Liverpool have won four and lost one against Blackburn.

They may wish to avoid a replay though as Blackburn have won three and lost just one of the ties at Ewood, with two draws.

The last time the sides met in the FA Cup was in January 2000 in a 4th Round tie at Anfield which Rovers won courtesy of a late Nathan Blake goal. Steven Gerrard was in the Reds line-up.

At Anfield, the Reds had won all four prior to the last meeting.

The last meeting at Anfield was in the league on Boxing Day 2011 ending in a 1-1 draw, with a Charlie Adam own goal cancelled out by Maxi Rodriguez.

In all competitions Liverpool have lost just two of the last 24 Anfield meetings.

That FA Cup defeat is the only time Liverpool have been beaten by Rovers in the last 17 clashes on Merseyside since Mike Newell scored the only goal for the visitors in 1993.

The Reds have lost only 3 of the last 29 meetings home and away in league and cup.

This is the 4th time in the last 19 seasons Liverpool have reached this stage. In the 3 previous years 2001, 2006 and 2012 they have gone on to reach the Final.

Philippe Coutinho, Mamadou Sakho, Simon Mignolet and Emre Can have started all 4 of the Reds FA Cup games this season.

Liverpool have lost 2 of their last 21 games in all competitions. Both defeats came away from home in cup games suffering 0-1 defeats at Chelsea and Besiktas.

Steven Gerrard began his Liverpool career with a substitute appearance against Blackburn in the Premier League in November 1998.

Liverpool have kept 8 clean sheets in their last 15 games.

Blackburn were the early FA Cup kings, winning the trophy 6 times with the last coming in 1928. They are the only club still in existence to win the trophy 3 years in succession, between 1884 and 1886.

Since 2005 Rovers have reached two Semi-Finals losing 3-0 to Arsenal in 2005 and 2 years later 2-1 at the hands of Chelsea.

In Rounds 4 and 5 they defeated Premiership opposition at Ewood. Firstly they beat Swansea 3-1, followed up with a 4-1 victory over Stoke after coming from behind.

Blackburn striker Rudy Gestede has faced the Reds once in his career. He started for Cardiff in the 2012 League Cup Final at Wembley. His current team mate Craig Conway was an unused substitute in that game.

Rovers victory at Sheffield Wednesday last Wednesday was their first in 5 games since beating Stoke in Round 5 – in those 5 games they found the net 5 times.

Rovers have kept one clean sheet in the last 14 games – last weekend in a goalless draw at Bournemouth.

In the last 15 matches Blackburn have conceded more than one goal on only two occasions.

Away from Ewood Park they have won 2 of the last 12 since late October.
